Installer (programming language)

From Quire, the open reference·Scripting language for AmigaOS, derived from the LISP programming language·1 min read

Installer is a scripting language developed by Sylvan Technical Arts and published by Commodore International for AmigaOS. It was first introduced in version 2.1 of AmigaOS in 1992.[1] Its syntax is based on the LISP programming language.

A compatible re-implementation, InstallerLG, remains under active development as of October 2018.[2]

Example script#edit

The following example, taken from the developer guide, demonstrates directory creation with user prompts:

(makedir "T:fred"
	(prompt "I will now create the directory \"T:Fred\"")
	(help @makedir-help)
	(infos)
	(confirm)
)

The InstallerGen tool provides a graphical alternative to writing scripts manually.[3]
